Build rxvt-unicode with disabled support for unnecessary features, -disable-xft and -disable-unicode3 in particular. Limit the number of saveLines (option -sl) in the scrollback buffer to reduce memory usage. Use tmux for scrollback buffer and set saveLines to 0; Disable perl. Rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt, modified to store text in Unicode and to use locale-correct input and output. It also supports mixing multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts, real transparency, and an optional embedded Perl.
